Clean unit and friendly staff, the only slight issue which is not in their control was the noise from doors slamming throughout the night which is a pain with a dog, but definitely not a dealbreaker would come back again

Quality-control of guests behaviour, for the quiet enjoyment of others. The noise coming from another room on the 4th floor bordered on being verbal and/or physical assault. I was on the verge of calling the police, not from the noise disruption, but for genuine fear of another guest's safety.
